Jewish Symbol Vatican Tour

A Rabbi together with a historian have recently published
a book on all Jewish
symbols hidden in the Vatican museum particularly in the Sistine Chapel. During the time
Michelangelo lived in Florence he had great influence from the
Jewish community therefore
used symbols that officially emphasized the power of the Pope but in reality the message
was totally different. Meet your guide and driver at the hotel to head to the Vatican, the
center of Christianity, for a 4 hour private tour. You

Last Judgment
